White Lilac - Paperback

""White Lilac"" is a novel written by Amy Walton that tells the story of a young girl named Rosamund who lives in Victorian England. Rosamund is an orphan who is taken in by her uncle and aunt, but she struggles to fit in with her new family and longs to find her place in the world. When she meets a group of young people who are passionate about social justice and reform, Rosamund becomes inspired to join their cause and fight for the rights of the poor and oppressed. Along the way, she faces challenges and obstacles, but she remains determined to make a difference and find happiness in her life. Through Rosamund's journey, ""White Lilac"" explores themes of identity, belonging, and social justice, and offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian England.Lilac pushed her hand through the palings and managed to pick some sweet-peas which were trailing themselves helplessly about for want of support, then she went on to the next gate. Poor Mrs Wishing was very lonely now that her only neighbour was gone; very few people passed over that way or came up so far from Danecross. Sometimes when Dan'l had a job on in the woods he was away for days and she saw no one at all, unless she was able to get to the cobbler's cottage, and that was seldom. Lilac knocked gently at the half-open door, and hearing no answer went in.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
